Midnight to 5am
Due to the Ottawa Street repairs it was decided to do a walking parade for the Lions Fest. Since that time the repairs have been progressing and it is anticipated that they will be done on June 24th. They have decided to have the full parade with floats, etc.
The parade will begin assembling at the Earlville School East parking lot at 11am and the parade will start at noon. Long time Lions officer and director Howard Gast will be the Parade Marshall. In 2001 Lion Howard was the President of the Earlville Lions for the first Lions Fest and every year since then Lions Fest has been held every June.
Lion Howard has been the Lion Tamer for several years and has the duty to take care of the personal property and to bring the necessary property to Lions events.
This year again there will be a free street dance to be held in the Dodge Park Pavilion. The band this year will be Jake Mack & the Lesser Stag. This band has played in the Chicago area and surrounding suburbs, to hear some of the band go to www.youtube.com and look them up!
Draw down tickets are available at First State Insurance and the Barber Shop in Earlville and McConville Realty in Mendota. Pork Chop tickets will be available that evening.
